In surprising news, eBay announced its exclusive design collaboration with Zodiac Watches. Their partnership has culminated in the creation of the Zodiac x eBay Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver, a limited-edition watch that celebrates the key impetus of both brands in connecting enthusiasts with wide array of watches. This exclusive model will be available for purchase only on eBay.com.

The original Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, designed in 1953, is celebrated for its functionality and unique aesthetic. It has earned a revered status among collectors and diving enthusiasts over the decades. The new limited-edition model features eBay’s vibrant brand palette — red, blue, yellow, and green — reimagined in a fresh and innovative style. Notably, it features a countdown bezel that operates inversely to traditional dive watch bezels, serving as a homage to the final moments of eBay’s auction countdowns.

Ryan White, the Creative Director at Zodiac Watches, commented on the collaboration: “eBay has played a crucial role in both preserving Zodiac’s illustrious history and introducing our brand to new audiences. My team and I have invested many hours exploring, admiring, and acquiring from the diverse array of both contemporary and vintage watches available on eBay. This partnership celebrates the union of collectors and honors our mutual respect for design and heritage.”

Zodiac’s tradition of innovation and excellence dates back to its founding in 1882. This collaboration honors Zodiac’s significant contributions to the watchmaking world and celebrates its established presence on eBay, where a dedicated storefront offers an array of Zodiac’s new and pre-owned watches. The brand enjoys considerable popularity on the platform, with global searches for Zodiac watches averaging about 7.5 times per minute in 2024.

Mari Corella, General Manager of Global Luxury at eBay, stated: “For decades, eBay has been a favored destination for watch enthusiasts seeking the finest selections. This collaboration embodies our dedication to connecting individuals with their passions through a timepiece that is both inspired by and designed for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.”

The Zodiac x eBay Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver is distinguished by striking black sunray dial with hour markers accented in eBay’s brand colors, set against a black ceramic bezel insert. It is complemented by a stainless steel five-link bracelet and a caseback adorned with the eBay logo.

Internally, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, specifically the STP 1-21, which offers reliability and precision with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. With water resistance up to 200 meters, it is equipped to handle significant underwater depths. The dial features Super-LumiNova coated hands, indices, and countdown markers that ensure high visibility under low light conditions prevalent underwater, enhancing both its functionality and safety.

Each watch comes in a specially designed box featuring eBay branding and includes a certificate of authenticity from Zodiac Watches. The dive watch is limited to 300 individually numbered pieces.

Starting October 18, 2024, the Zodiac x eBay Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver will be available for purchase at USD 1,695 exclusively on eBay.com.
